We deeply miss our dear friend "The Maestro", Daniel Kramer. We have the honor of representing his archive of vintage pieces that he entrusted to us before his departure.
Daniel was not only a generous soul but also an immense artist brimming with passion and talent. He was a master of photography and photo printing, with his early works, developed by his own hands in his darkroom, standing as a testament to his skill.
Daniel’s most renowned work was his collaboration with Bob Dylan in the early 1960s, but he never ceased capturing the world through his lens thereafter. His complete body of work is incredible from a photographic standpoint, and per the artist’s wishes, it has remained unpublished until now. The Music Photo Gallery is committed to unveiling this previously unseen work and will work diligently to preserve Daniel’s legacy forever.
We will collaborate closely with his family to ensure Daniel’s lasting place in the history of photography.
Born in 1932 in Brooklyn, Daniel was a self-taught photographer. He worked as an assistant to Philippe Halsman, and Allan and Diane Arbus before gaining an international reputation of his own. Along with his photographs of Dylan, Kramer also captured many notable figures in music, sports, and entertainment, including Janis Joplin, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, John Hammond, Pete Seeger, Gordon Lightfoot, Mike Bloomfield, Joe Frazier, Mario Puzo, Norman Mailer, and David Letterman. He also directed several films and documentaries.
The Music Photo Gallery began representing Daniel Kramer’s vintage archive in 2020 and first featured it at Photo London the following year.
